C.I.D. (Crime Investigation Department) is an Indian crime detective series created, written and directed by B. P. Singh for Sony Entertainment Television India and Sony Entertainment Television Asia. The series, which premiered on 21 april 1997[1] is the longest running television series in India, having completed seventeen years in 2014.[2][3][4]

Plot

ACP Pradyuman (Shivaji Satam), Abhijeet (Aditya Srivastava) and Daya (Dayanand Shetty) are an elite trio of officers who work for the CID. They seek the help of professional forensic expert Dr. Salunkhe (Narendra Gupta) and solve high-profile cases with the entire CID team.

Productions

Conception

Series creator, B.P. Singh, started working on the concept of C.I.D. while he used to work as a cameraman at Doordarshan, for ten years between 1973 and 1983. He said: "I was a news camera-man and handled the camera for about 10 years. Thereafter, I started getting an urge to break free. I thought I could see the scenes from a different and maybe better perspective. I asked Doordarshan if they were interested in serialising some detective stories. I started doing some groundwork by meeting some detectives, etc."[1]

Thereafter, while preparing for his film, Sirf Char Din (a murder mystery), he used to visit the Crime Branch. While there, he interacted with many officials, and was intrigued by the on-going cases, the style of the detectives, and their modus operandi. He started reading detective novels, written by Shrikant Sinkar, and greatly liked his style of writing. Inspired by all of this, he started toying with idea of creating a detective TV series. Singh had already made six episodes in 1986, twelve years before the premier of the show, and eight years before Sony TV was launched in 1994. He did not do any research or surveys before the series conception and has intended to keep the episodes' storylines simple.[1]

Casting

Marathi theatre veteran, Shivaji Satam, who plays ACP Pradyuman, had worked with B.P. Singh on many projects before C.I.D.. "Having worked with B.P. on so many projects, I had to be part of CID," said Satam. Dayanand Shetty (Daya) was spotted by Sanjay Shetty, a member of the C.I.D. production team, in a community play, in which Daya was adjudged best actor. Singh was so impressed with Shetty that he finalized him five minutes into the audition. His character is amongst the most popular ones in the series[5] along with Satam's character, Pradyuman. Aditya Srivastava who portrays Abhijeet, was introduced in the show as a criminal but was later added into the C.I.D. team. "I had agreed to only 26 episodes. In 1998, I was also doing some films, but BP sir gave me the flexibility to come and go as I felt like. But I began to enjoy the role of Abhijeet, and so stayed on," said Srivastava. Singh wanted Srivastava to be part of his team after seeing his work in Ram Gopal Varma’s Satya.[5]

Episode format

C.I.D. originally aired on Wednesdays at 9:30 PM IST before being moved to its current time slot in 2001. From its debut until March 3, 2006 the series format consisted of half-hour episodes with each case being split across two episodes with the exception of several multi-part cases and crossovers with C.I.D. Special Bureau in 2005. On March 10, 2006 the format was changed to one-hour episodes with each case being covered in a single episode. The episode air time has since been increased to around 90 minutes. On 21 May 2010, commencing from the episode "Rahasyamai Darwaza", C.I.D. was aired twice in a week, Friday and Saturday at 10:00 PM, with one case shown in a single episode, with the exception of a few episodes. Later, on 29 June 2012, commencing from the episode "Khooni Paani", C.I.D was aired thrice in a week from Friday to Sunday at 10:00 PM. Due to a fall in the number of viewers, on 7 September 2012, it was moved back to its original slot twice in a week, Friday and Saturday at 10:00 PM. On February 3, 2013 C.I.D. moved to 10:00 pm Friday to Sunday and airs thrice in a week.
